Hi there,

is it possible to dynamically set the range (min/max) of a gauge node ({{msg.xy}} syntax)?

If not, this would be a nice feature for future releases... (not only for gauge nodes).

Cheers,

Tobias

Try this topic [How to make variable limits](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-make-variable-limits/2363)  
And this is not the limit. Dashboard widgets allow to configure many other things on fly. Start from this page [https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/config-fields.md](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/config-fields.md)
